Petition to End Moderating

Okay, so I still think that in general the moderation function here is being mis-used, but I'm taking on board the point that we need to moderate up as well as down. I'll admit to being one who doesn't think to moderate up - if the post is still visible then there's no problem right? Wrong - as Jeff says "If a post is not moderated up by anyone, than a single down vote, a vote of 1, will knock the post down." So, I've started trying to remember to moderate up. I'm sure we can all agree that Grant has enough work to do as it is without re-writing the code for the site to take away the moderation feature. And realistically, I don't want that to happen, I was just coming from a "if you abuse a privelage it should be taken away" stand point. But I'm now going to throw my lot in with Jeff and Logos and start moderating where it is waranted as often as I can remember - in an upwards fashion, not downwards. Maybe this is the answer - if enough of us do this then the few who are taking advantage of the moderation system will lose their power and hopefully get bored and start using their time in more positive ways.
